This baby's dramatic birth in the back seat of a car was captured on dash cam

A baby’s birth has been captured on dash cam as she made a speedy arrival in the back of her parents’ car.

Kara Lee, 28 was being taken to Nottingham City Hospital by husband Stewart Lee, 32, when she suddenly got the urge to push.

The couple arrived into the hospital car park but it was too late to get Kara inside so she was forced to deliver her baby in the back seat of the car, just ten minutes after her waters broke.

“As I got into the car my waters broke and as we pulled into the car park I couldn’t move as her head was coming out,” Kara told Nottinghamshire Live.

“It all happened so fast and I think I was just in shock.”

At 3.07pm their baby daughter Kaitlyn was born, weighing 8lb 4oz and though the dash cam was positioned facing out of the back window so didn’t capture the birth visually, the audio could be heard.

On the footage one of the midwives who came to help can be heard saying: “All right sweet, lets see what happens with the next contraction.”

The midwife goes on to tell a colleague “No we’re not going to have enough time to go in, breathe, breathe..let the baby out.”

Moments later she says: “Hello baby, have we got a towel.” before Kara asks if her newborn is ok.

“She’s fine – she’s just thinking about having a cry. Well done Kara, we’ll get you a wheelchair, when you’re ready we will transfer you in.”

Speaking about the dramatic birth Stewart said: “If we had been any slower, I genuinely think I would have had to deliver our own baby in the street.

“We are so lucky we live close by to the hospital. It could have been a completely different story.”

The couple, who have three boys already aged 10, six and four, decided to release the dash cam footage as a way of thanking the team of midwives who met them in the car park and helped to deliver their baby.

“Kara was amazing. She was so calm and she just got on with it. The staff were such a help too.

“We are so grateful.”
